It’s undeniable that female entrepreneurship is growing within the Black British community. We’re hearing more and more success stories of black women fronting their own organisations, but there is a group who still feel overlooked in the business world: black Muslim Women. 

“Why is there no representation from the intersectionality of being a black woman but also a black woman of faith?” asks Jennifer Ogenyumi, founder of Sisters in Business, a network supporting Muslim women.

Black women business owners are making bank for the UK economy. A study from the Centre for Research in Ethnic Minority Entrepreneurship (CREME) shows black-owned British businesses generate more than £10 billion a year.
